評分第一本讀完的英文大部頭~人生的喜怒哀樂和得失 “We don’t always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly–as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth–the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives.”

約翰•歐文(John Irving),被美國文壇泰鬥馮內古特喻為“美國最重要的幽默作傢”,是當代最知名的小說傢之一,他作品中所呈現的高超的說故事技巧與優美的文學性,使人們常將他與狄更斯和J. D. 塞林格等重量級小說傢相提並論。他的小說不僅贏得書評界的一緻推崇,而且叫好又叫座,是西方最暢銷的小說傢之一。
In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable’s girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos County–to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Toronto–pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them.
In a story spanning five decades, Last Night in Twisted River –John Irving’s twelfth novel–depicts the recent half-century in the United States as “a living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course.” From the novel’s taut opening sentence–“The young Canadian, who could not have been more than fifteen, had hesitated too long”–to its elegiac final chapter, Last Night in Twisted River is written with the historical authenticity and emotional authority of The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany. It is also as violent and disturbing a story as John Irving’s breakthrough bestseller, The World According to Garp.
What further distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author’s unmistakable voice–the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller. Near the end of this moving novel, John Irving writes: “We don’t always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly–as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth–the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives.”
兄赠的“首部大部头译作”其实早已看毕,居然一直没想好要说什么,索性想到哪说到哪。 这本书也许不是每个读者想要的,但却兑现了其他写作者强压在心底难以表达的东西。 从阅读感觉来说,从这本书进入作者的世界可能是个错误,因为据传说他的其他作品“更好看”,不过从了解他...
評分长评,没耐心的人慎入。其实写了欧文的好几本书。就贴这儿吧。 ---------- 对一名作家的喜爱会导致持续的追踪阅读。邂逅引发惊喜,随之而来的是“想看该作家其他书”的迫切。我遇到欧文的书不算早,当时国内已出了三本:《苹果酒屋的规则》、《盖普眼中的世界》(早年有个版...

評分主角的书曾经被改编成剧本,拿了奥斯卡2000年的最佳原创剧本,我想着,这种事情很容易查到的嘛,也不能乱写呀,于是就搜索了一下,发现当年拿到最佳剧本的是,就是欧文自己——基于《苹果酒屋的法则》的改编。于是这本书果然又增加了更多的神秘感和自传色彩。 一开始阅读的体验...
